Of all the incredibly annoying occurrences, Katie B and Gabi are not only drawn in the same q section, but will actually play each other in the QR2 if they both win their first matches. On rankings Katie had the more difficult match, but both are certainly winnable for the Brits. Neither though has exac...

Well, Emilie LG has popped up here this week in search of her 3rd counter. Can't say it's a great choice coz she ain't going to get it unless she plays lights out. She's likely to have to beat the Q1 seed WR 426 9n QR2, whereas to get that counter, she'd have done better to have gone across to Portugal where th...
I am not sure how many people follow cycling and some may have strong views on Chris Froome and Team Sky, but just to say Chris Froome has just put in one of the all time great cycling stage wins, riding solo for 80km to win the stage, turnover a 3 minutes plus time deficit and move into the leaders Pink jerse...
R16: Anna SMITH & Xenia KNOLL (GBR/SUI) 117 (48 + 69) v. Oksana KALASHNIKOVA/Alla KUDRYAVTSEVA (GEO/RUS) [4] 115 (67 + 38) So close to being fourth seed themselves; they beat a team containing Kalashnikova yesterday/today, in the Trnava SF. The doubles world #1, Latisha (Yung Jan) Chan, is her...
I don't see a thread for this tournament. R32: Cameron Norrie (CR 102) vs (Q) Jose Hernandez-Fernandez (DOM) CR 267 (CH 179 in 2015) According to the ATP website, they have never met before. The winner plays either Monfils, the 6th seed or another one to watch German, Maximilian Marterer. -- Edited by...

Lissey the only Brit in the q draw. In the main draw there could be any/ all of Katy D, Maia, Freya and EWS. Katy D likely to be the top seed if she indeed does turn up. QR1: Alicia BARNETT (GRB) [q4] 650 vs Hyebin KIM (KOR) UNR -- Edited by Michael D on Saturday 19th of May 2018 10:15:36 AM
I wondered if Emily might pop up here this week in the doubles, frustrated at being denied an SE into Korea, and she has. Rutuja, her doubles partner from last week must already have been taken, so Emily has another new partner again this week R16: Emily Webley-Smith/ Kwan Yau Ng (GBR/HKG) 1129 (2...
